First get the arm itself where the splines are pretty hot with a torch, tap the arm with a hammer, dont bang it, it should loosen it up a little.

thanks, Although i try to avoid using a torch, i managed to use a puller for ball joints to get it loose enough to where the ears o nthe pitman arm puller could get between the arm and the box. thanks though!!
